End-User Options - Countdown Timer in signature

This is a port of my vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer".
I had to change some parts of the install code to make it work with vB3.6, and here we go:

This little AddOn gives your users the option to show a custom countdown timer at the bottom of their signature.

Features:

• Fully configurable via UserCP (see screenshot)
• BB-Code can be used for eventname and overmessage
• fully phrased/templated, nothing hardcoded and so fully customizable
• leading days or hours with a value of "0" are not shown
  (so it shows "42minutes" rather then "0days 0hours 42minutes")

Installation:
Painless:

• Upload "plugins_usercountd.php" to ".../forum/includes"
• Import the product .XML

DONE
That's it.
No template edits, no nothing


Usage:
Go into your UserCP -> Edit Options
On the very bottom you will find the options for the Countdown Timer.
Set it to whatever you like, if "Enable" is set to "Yes" the timer will automatically be shown on the bottom of your sig, set to "No" will hide/disable the time display



Have fun

I was wondering the same thing. I figured it out. You have to manually edit the php file (plugins_usercountd.php) that is uploaded to your includes folder. When you open that php file in Notepad or Wordpad, do a search for 2010. You can change the 2006 to 2009 and change the 2010 to whatever year you want. I changed mine to 2009-2019.

Don't forget to upload the php file again after you save it.
